[PMID: 38977252 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
A series of piperine derivatives were designed and successfully synthesized. The antitumor activities of these compounds against 293 T human normal cells, as well as MDA-MB-231 (breast) and Hela (cervical) cancer cell lines, were assessed through the MTT assay. Notably, compound H7 exhibited moderate activity, displaying reduced toxicity towards non-tumor 293 T cells while potently enhancing the antiproliferative effects in Hela and MDA-MB-231 cells. The IC50 values were determined to be 147.45 ± 6.05 μM, 11.86 ± 0.32 μM, and 10.50 ± 3.74 μM for the respective cell lines. In subsequent mechanistic investigations, compound H7 demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of clone formation, migration, and adhesion in Hela cells. At a concentration of 15 μM, its inhibitory effect on Hela cell function surpassed that of both piperine and 5-Fu. Furthermore, compound H7 exhibited promising antitumor activity in vivo, as evidenced by significant inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and reduction in tumor weight in a chicken embryo model. These findings provide a valuable scientific foundation for the development of novel and efficacious antitumor agents, particularly highlighting the potential of compound H7 as a therapeutic candidate for cervical cancer and breast cancer.

New Cu(II), Mn(II) and Mn(III) Schiff base complexes cause noncovalent interactions: X-ray crystallography survey, Hirshfeld surface analysis and molecular simulation investigation against SARS-CoV-2. J Mol Struct 2023; 1278:134857. [PMID: 36619309 PMCID: PMC9811130 DOI: 10.1016/j.molstruc.2022.134857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
In this study, polynuclear Cu(II) complex (1), Mn(II) and Mn(III) complex (2) have been prepared with a Schiff base ligand derived from 2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde with 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The molecular and crystal structures of (1-2) were determined by the single-crystal x-ray diffraction technique. It turned out that Cu(II) complex (1) forms an S4 -symmetrical tetrameric cage structure, with square-planar coordinated Cu and bridging O atoms at the vertexes of the approximate cube. In the crystal structure of 1, there are large channels along the c-axis, between the tetramers; the solvent- DMSO molecules, occupies these channels. In turn, the complex (2) creates a centrosymmetric trimeric structure, with three octahedrally coordinated Mn ions bridged by O atoms from ligand molecules and acetate ions. The electrochemical behavior studies of the complexes in DMSO displayed the electronic effects of the groups on the redox potential. The redox behavior of Schiff base (1) and (2) complexes included quasi -reversible and irreversible voltammograms, respectively. Intermolecular interactions in the solid states were studied by Hirshfeld surface analysis. These studies provide a comprehensive description of these inter-contact exchanges using an attractive graphical representation using Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots, along with enrichment ratios. Furthermore, assessment of the inhibitory effect against coronavirus (main protease SARS-CoV-2) was performed by a molecular docking study for both complexes (1 and 2). Both complexes showed a good affinity for CoV-2 for PDB protein ID: 6M03 and 6Y2F.

Thiophene-Appended Benzothiazole Compounds for Ratiometric Detection of Copper and Cadmium Ions with Comparative Density Functional Theory Studies and Their Application in Real-Time Samples.

Abstract
A thirst for the development of a simple fluorescence probe for enhanced sensing application has been achieved by synthesizing a stupendous thiophene-appended benzothiazole-conjugated compound L2. The synthesized compound L2 was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry techniques. Furthermore, a photophysical property of L1 and L2 reveals the enhanced emission spectrum of L2 because of a restricted spin-orbital coupling as a result of increased conjugation compared to the ligand L1. Therefore, comparative studies were undertaken for L1 and L2. Henceforth, L2 was deployed for the ratiometric detection of Cd2+ ions in THF:water and L1 for the detection of Cu2+ ions in THF medium. The chemosensor L2 shows an outstanding water tolerance up to 60% and is stable between pH 2 and 7. This level of water tolerance and stability make L2 a suitable probe for analyzing real-time and biological samples. While the cadmium ion was added to L2, there was a significant red shift in emission from 496 to 549 nm, which indicates the controlled ICT due to complex formation. The metal-ligand complexation was also confirmed by noticing a decreased band gap of metal complex compared to the ligand as calculated using Tauc's plot with solid-phase UV data. The stoichiometric ratio was obtained by Job's plot that exhibited a 1:1 ratio of L2 and Cd2+ ions, and the limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 2.25 nM by the photoluminescence spectroscopic technique. The fluorescence lifetime of both L2 and L2-Cd2+ was found to be 58.3 ps and 0.147 ns, respectively. Alongside, the colorimetric-assisted ratiometric detection of Cu2+ by L1 with 1:2 stoichiometric ratio having an LOD of 1.06 × 10-7 M was also performed. Furthermore, the practical applicability of the probe L2 in sensing cadmium was tested in sewage water and vegetable extract; the recovery was approximately 98 and 99%, respectively. The experimental data were supported by theoretical investigation of structures of L1, L2, L1-Cu2+ , and L2-Cd2+ , complex formation, charge transfer mechanism, and band gap measurements done by quantum chemical density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dry grinding method is a green technique for efficient organic synthesis with numerous advantages, such as: mild reaction conditions, environmental acceptability, simple segregation and refinement as well as the elevated selectivity and efficiency. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present work is to design and synthesize of cyclopentylidene-hydrazino)-thiazole derivatives using dry grinding condition to investigate their antitumor activity aganist two cell lines namely, HepG-2 and A-549. METHODS In this context, we synthesized series of thiazole incorporated cyclopentane through hydrazone-group and 2-cyclopentylidenehydrazine-1-carbimidic-2-ethoxy-N-aryl-2-oxoacetohydrazonic thioanhydride under dry grinding within minutes and excellent to good yield. RESULTS All spectral data confirmed the proposed structures. The molecular docking studies have been performed using Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (Pdb: 4k9g) and Lysozyme C (Pdb: 2f4a), the overexpressed proteins in human liver cancer cell (HepG-2) and lung cancer cell lines (A-549), respectively, in addition to the antitumor activity investigations contra the two types of tumor cells. CONCLUSION Two derivatives 9b and 9d showed the highest antitumor activity against the two cell lines HepG-2 and A-549. Also, docking results revealed high energy score ranging from -7.1590 to -5.9364 Kcal/mol with Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (Pdb: 4k9g) which is more than the energy score = -4.118 Kcal/mol of co-crystallized ligand. Moreover, the tested derivatives showed energy score varies from -6.0802 to -4.5503 Kcal/mol against Lysozyme C (Pdb: 2f4a).
